No shutter release

\015 My Nikon D80 has started to show a F---- and an R11 error message when in the Auto mode. I am using the 18-70mm lens supplied with the camera. The shutter will not release. Switching to the A mode the camera shows a R6 error message. It works fine on Manual mode. Is this a camera or a lens problem?\015

Answers :

It turns out that supporting the camera while taking a shot can impart a slight twist on the seated lens. This twist is just enough to cause the camera to think that there is no lens installed .. hence the error message. Solution (provided my Henry's Camera experts) was to reseat the lens by reversing the twist. It has since happenned twice and each time recovery was effective .... Keith

Shutter release I just purchased this camera and while I was taking a photo indoors I pressed the upflash button and eversince then every single button I press on the camera (including the off switch) sets off the shutter release.

Nikon D80 with a Sigma Lens (80 to 200 I think). In manual mode, often shutter won't release - this was a close up of a hummingbird with a fast shutter speed. Internal light meter showed underexposed, but the background was dark green. Initially, the shutter released, but later would not operate either with a remote, or by manually depressed the shutter release button. Switching back to auto, the camera seemed to work fine, but in this mode could not get the desired shutter speed. In full manual

Is there the equiv of "focus priority shutter release"

Jan 09, 2010
- by "focus priority shutter release" I mean the ability to instruct NOT to allow shutter release (ie FULL depression of the shutter button" UNTIL focus is achieved and confirmed. I have this feature on all my NIKON and OLY pro and prosumer level cameras as well as my Panasonic GH1 (just got this little beauty and love it). I'm asking the question on behalf of a friend who just got the LEICA V-LUX 1.
Thanks in ad

I don't have the V Lux, but based on what the operation manual says, the camera will not work this way. It's designed for you to press the shutter release halfway until you get focus indication, and then to fully press to take the picture. \0 ...

Overexposed photos?? when i hit my shutter release button, sometimes the flash doesn't pop up and the view finder goes black. (it's like the camera is taking a picture but when I release my finger from the shutter release button it doesn't release) The only way to "get out of it" is to turn the camera off then back on. when i go to playback...it is a white picture. are my settings messed up and how do i avoid this in the future. Many picture moments are missed because of this!

The view finder "going black" on an SLR is caused by the mirror being up, which is also when the camera is actually taking the picture! The mirror sends the light from the lens to either the viewfinder or the sensor. When it's down, the light goes ...

My Dynax 5D will not release the shutter nor will it turn off unless the battery is removed. The access light and the display remain on when the camera is turned off at the switch. All menus and autofocus work as normal, it will simply not release the shutter in any mode or with any of my Konica Minolta brand lenses.

Always use the best quality batteries available, I used some cheap batteries in my compact and had problems but it came good after a while with good quality batteries. Also the automatic lens protector had some grit stuck in it from the beach stoppin ...

To get it to instantly take the picture, you must press the button half-way and allow the camera to lock in the focus (it will beep)...then when the moment is right, press the rest of the way. ...

Nikon Coolpix L14 digital camera was dropped recently. Since then, when flash mode is set to AUTO, shutter-release button must be pressed several times to take a picture. If flash mode is OFF, shutter-release button takes a picture the first time pressed.

There is some misalignment within the camera that occurred while it fell. The possibility can be the trigger to the flash which was set off , there can be a crack on the electronic board, a possible switch issue of the flash trigger or a ...
